ECW Star Pushed To Main Event Level, New Gimmick, More

Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

With the recent draft of Viscera to the ECW brand, don’t be surprised if you see him on television more now, as WWE has some big plans for this massively large wrestler.

WWE is going to drop his current gimmick of being “The World’s Largest Love Machine” and make him more of a One Man Gang character, which means he will be basically be a mean, bad, wrecking machine. The idea for this is to get him over as big and unstoppable in ECW, and then bring him back to RAW or SmackDown! as a monster heel that can headline main events. They recently did this with Snitsky who is scheduled to mow down undercarders for the rest of the year and feud with Cena in 2008.

Reason behind Viscera’s push is because of his massive size and unlike some of the wrestlers backstage, he doesn’t have many problems. Dave Lagana didn’t want him on the brand if he wasn’t revamped with new image because he felt the “Love Machine’ gimmick would never get over as a headliner for the company. Furthermore, Vince McMahon liked the idea of Viscera being pushed like the One Man Gang in the 80's. Plus, it's easy to convince Vince to push a monster, even it's failed a few times before, as opposed to a smaller person, even if the person has a history of past success.

I don't care what ya say .. I think Vis deserves somewhat of a decent run .. he's been around forever, and other than Mabel, hasn't done a GodDamn thing !!

There's always been something about him that I liked .. maybe it was his size, or his almost seeming easy-go character, but I really hope this works for the dude !!



Remember the Spyda, dude ..

So the reckoning is that if he squashes guys on Velo....I mean ECW, then when they bring him back up we will all have forgotten that he has been a jobber for over 10 years and we'll think "hey, who is this new guy....man he's tough". Writers are crap!!
